In an important development today, the United States government decided not to pursue new rules that would have forced many international students to return home if studying online this fall. U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs announced the plan this afternoon, which leaves in place existing exemptions for online study that were put in place as the Covid-19 pandemic forced many campuses to close.
Wesleyan had filed a brief in this case, and we are thrilled by the outcome.
In this dark time it is wonderful to have this generous slice of good news! Thanks for the notification.
